Six months ago today, or thereabouts, the people of Hasluck asked me once again to represent them, and I carry their trust and aspirations with me.

Today is the final placement day for Maya Weiss, a student from the Australian National University who's been on internship with me. Maya is a keen student of linguistics and has prepared a research project on the use of explicit reading and writing instruction in primary schools in Hasluck and other electorates, for comparison, including the Speaker's electorate. I'm pleased to have been able to host Maya in my office, and I hope to use her findings to further my understanding and support educational outcomes in my electorate.

As my fashionable gen Z intern informed me, not only is 909 the moniker of a very crucial part of DJ history and culture but it's also the number of cheaper home batteries that we have so far made available in Hasluck. It maintains our commitment to affordable renewable energy, just as—I hope I say this in the right way—the TR-909 is committed to advancing techno music and my intern is committed to playing it out loud in my office.
